Well, It finally happened. Our online source of Optima bars has run out. They only have expired bar left in stock.

It just so happens that I had some dental work done and had to find much softer foods to eat over the past week. I found that the Quaker Weight Control Instant Oatmeal made for a filling breakfast. I am eating yogurt and sugar free Jello-O for snacks. Lunch is generally left over home made soup. I know that will change here soon so I'll have to find a new lunch solution.

For the first time since we started SF, we had to throw away expired SF coupons. That NEVER happened in the past!

The Ready-to-Drink Shakes were pulled off the shelves back in December due to a voluntary recall. For more information, go to: www.slim-fast.com/recall

The Slim-Fast Shake Mixes, though now under the name 3-2-1 are exactly the same as they were under the Optima packaging. The Slim-Fast Optima Ready to Drink Shakes were altered slightly to improve the nutritional profile and taste. These Ready to Drink Shakes are now under the 3-2-1 line.

Ali, thank you for making sure our comments are seen by those who may help influence change.

While it is good to hear the low carb shakes have not been discontinued, they are not part of my diet plan.

Thank you for all your comments regarding the Slim-Fast 3-2-1 Bars. I will be sure to forward your comments to the Slim-Fast Team for their review.

As for the Slim-Fast Low Carb Shakes, we have not discontinued them. We hope to have them back on store shelves in the coming weeks. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I myself need the low carb shakes desperately. All the other runs my blood sugar up 50 points.! I dont like the new format either cant get it to post the correct weight or BMI information, and so far SF has not bothered to answer any questions or problems I had for over a week Guess I will have to find a different product and program I can interact with. Good Luck to all of you on your weight loss.

Hello everyone. It appears my account is working again so I'll take advantage of that while I can.

Courtney, thank you for the suggestion. I have not yet tried other brands. We were lucky enough to find an online source that had a lot of Optima Bar still in stock. We purchased about a 6 month supply. However that will soon come to an end and I'm sure we will start looking again.

We have tried all of the new 321 bars. The almond and trail mix meal bars are decent. However I don't see being able to survive on those alone. We have been buying some Nature Valley products to help with the lack of Optima snacks.

The other issue I have with this change over is the fact that the new boxes cost more and they only have five bars rather than six. Shame on you guys!

Ultimately I am not going to let this keep me down. I may have to find a new product when the time comes, but that's OK. In the end both SF and myself will be losers... however I'll be on the positive side of that statement and they'll have two less customers.

I wish ya'll luck and if you happen to find something that really works for ya, let me know. I'll keep any eye on this thread - even if my account becomes a problem again. ;-)

Goodbye Optima bars, hello uncertainty.

Gone now is the old way of doing menus that I so depended on to keep me on track. This new program is not for me. Thankfully I have learned good skills while actively using the SF program. For that I am thankful. I will miss SF.
